Help me upgrade my PC

[KreckyN_]

Hello guys,  I've been thinking of upgrading my pc lately. Want to buy the new 2080 along with cpu, mobo and psu.

 

Right now i have msi 970, i5 6600k, Msi Z170 gaming pro, 4x4gb DDR4 2666MHz CL15 HyperX, 620W seasonic psu. Could you guys recommend me what cpu, motherboard, psu to buy?

Thanks.

What do you use your PC for, mostly? Gaming? Rendering? And if you are gaming, what resolution, framerate, and settings do you target?

 

P.S, what's your budget?

[Fasauceome]

New Intel CPUs in a little while, might as well wait for those

[Firewrath9]

cpu is fine for now maybe look at used 7700k?

otherwise a 8700k+good air cooler+z370 mid range would be good.

ram is fine for now. PSU-wise, there is a EVGA 650 watt GQ for 70$ rn.

[SupaKomputa]

ryzen 2600 if you valued your money.

and yes the new intel i7 9700 wont have 16 threads.

[m0n4rchy]

8 cores with no hyperthreading.

Budget is not the problem here, I have 144hz monitor and i play on 1980 x 1080 resolution. I am from Slovakia.

Gaming, i wanna push the fps but don't want to really overkill it with 2080ti.

I completely understand that you don't want to go with a RTX 2080 TI. I know parts that can give you high framerates on high settings, however, I have to ask again, what is your budget?

As i mentioned the guy above i said that the budget is not the problem here. :>

Then wait for the intel 9th gen, and buy 2 2080tis with a 4k 144hz display

Aight aight   This aint about the budget I just wanna buy a single 2080 with some cpu, mobo and psu. That's all. ^^

Then you clearly have some kind of budget you need to hit and should mention it.

 

You don't need a 2080 to do 1080p 144hz gaming, would be overkill and a waste of money, a 980ti/1070 or 1070ti or 1080 is a bit overkill for that.

 

Probably want to wait for intel 9th gen CPUs coming soonish, or just buy a cheap/effective R5 2600 + ASrock Pro4 B450 or MSI Tomahawk B450 board.

I mean, I can afford any combination of 2080, cpu, mobo and psu. I just want to know what would go well together. And i am the type of person who has less than 120 fps then gets irritated since i am used to playing games such as ow on quite high fps along with 144hz monitor. So if it drops below some certain point i can see it and it sucks. And when playing new games its even worse i have to minimize the graphic settings and wont even push it over 90 fps. So that's why i want an upgrade.

edit: + i would rather stick to intel if possible

Just wait for the 9th gen 8 core and Z390 motherboards.Though there won't be an 8700K replacement because they still want to sell 8700Ks to people.

 

The 8700K is likely fine, but runs 15-20C hotter due to the TIM under the IHS. 9th gen CPUs are going to be soldered so they'll be easier to cool out of the box and may overclock slightly higher than 8th gen.

Or Ryzen will also be fine and is likely half the price of the equivilant intel CPU with 80% of the performance.

Planning to delid the cpu anyways. + i wanna get it till like half of november if its possible. If i choose the 8700k do you have any suggestions what mobo and psu i should go with ?

If you get an 8700K, get a Z370 motherboard to take advantage of overclocking, and as for the PSU, the bare minimum would be something that is 450W, but I'd recommend a 550W, 650W at most PSU. Bonus points for features like being fully modular and 80+ Silver or better.

There's no point in planning a PC now if you're going to wait until november since everything will change by then.

 

The whole point of the CPU being soldered to start with is that delidding it becomes useless.

You misunderstood me. I wanna get it asap just that i don't want to wait for other stuff to be released unless it is really soon and that is till half of the November. And i've seen great results after cpus being delided. Don't care about the warranty.

ASAP but you're not buying the PC until November?

There is 0 reason to delid a soldered CPU.

No, that is the time i am still willing to wait. And it would be better to have it asap. And by deliding the processor i've seen ppl managed to cool the cpu down by around 15 degrees.

edit: I know you are talking about the new generation of cpus. But i was still talking about the 8th gen.

The entire point of soldering a CPU is so that it already has the best thermals it can get.

 

The 8700K uses thermal paste under the IHS, and that's why using liquid metal works so well on it.

If you're willing to wait you should just wait for the 9th gen then and get the 8 core 9900K or whatever. Since it'll be faster than an 8700K and soldered.

Alright, i will do as you say since it makes sense and probably its a bad idea to rush with such things. Do you at least have a psu in mind that would be sufficient ?
